Memorial Sprint Classic” Sponsored by the City of Jetmore and ICM.
The event features a night of Sprint Car racing as its best as the

up for a night of thrills and great racing.
The City of Jetmore is sponsoring a full day’s festivities and the
evening racing activities that will benefit the Steve King

and track operations personnel who are involved in dirt track racing
and are seriously ill, severely injured or killed. Part of the
proceeds will also benefit the Hodgeman County Community Foundation
Steve King Fund that provides assistance to
area students and residents.
The entire day will be a celebration in the City of Jetmore with an
afternoon full of activities planned in the City Square. Numerous
fund raising events and activities will be held, including a golf
tournament between the NCRA/URSS Drivers and Crews along with a
Hamburger Feed at Noon and many of the areas best Sprint Car Drivers
will have their cars on display, giving the Fans a chance to meet
them one on one to get a picture or an autograph. There is also a
concert planned at the Motorplex before and after the races
featuring “Magnum Rock” to complete a great fundraising event
Among the activities is a special fund raiser
in which the winner will get to drive an actual ICM/King Racing 360
Sprint Car after the races. A $20.00 donation will give a lucky fan
a chance at the "Thrill of a Lifetime" as they pilot the race car
around the track.
The list of Drivers will be impressive, as the regions best will
converge at the Motorplex for the Event. NCRA Drivers expected to
attend include King Racing’s Derrick Drown, J D Johnson, C J

Tornado” Jon Johnson, Brian Herbert, Mike Woodruff, Cody Salem,
Kirby Hagans, Brandon Fisher and more will hit the track.
Another highlight will be the debut of Jetmore’s own Ray Seemann, as
King Racing will field a second team car at the event. Danny King
has graciously offered Ray the opportunity to drive the second E-85
Sponsored NCRA Sprint Car at this event. Ray, Steve’s cousin and one
of his close friends all through school was the winner of last years
Jetmore URSS Rebel Nationals. Ray is a very talented racer and has
shown that he has what it takes to go on to the next level.
